Default Black rims on a Silver GS

I am currently reseaching and experimenting with different looks for my Alpine Silver GS4. I have always loved chrome, but I am starting to really like a black w/ chrome lip look as well. I don't see too many members on here with this combination either! It gives the car an understated and classy look IMO. I wanted to open this topic up for discussion. If you got pics even better

i think they look great

i was thinking about the same thing this weekend, wondering how my silver GS would look with black rims. now i know and love it. kinda gives it that "knight rider" feel.

i just realized that the top of the silver GS is black. interesting combination.

also note on black rims, that wouldn't look dirty as fast as silver or chrome rims, imho.

The dark wheels look good, just not a choice I would go with, each to their own. Voted for silver/chrome.
